Chief Geologist

Stephen Vincent received his BSc (Hons) from Durham University in 1988 and PhD from Liverpool University in 1993. His PhD focused on the sedimentology, stratigraphy and provenance of syn-orogenic palaeovalley deposits within the Spanish Pyrenees, supervised by the late Prof. Trevor Elliott.
He joined CASP in 1993 and has subsequently worked on multiple aspects of regional geology and geodynamics, sedimentology, basin analysis, sediment routing and provenance, thermochronology, and organic geochemistry across large parts of Eurasia.
Over the last 25 years Steve’s research has focussed geographically on the Black Sea and South Caspian basins and he has published extensively on the geology of these regions. He became Chief Geologist in 2019.
